Nicholas Sparks celebrates REMAIN at B&N The Grove

Join on October 17, 2025, as we welcome to the store to take photos for the release of, a novel written in an unprecedented collaboration with blockbuster director M. Night Shyamalan. Tate doesn’t believe in the old family myth that a chosen few can see spirits trapped in the realm of the living — until something rattles his world for good. With the heart of Nicholas Sparks and the twists of M. Night Shyamalan, Remain is a one-of-a-kind read.

A story about the power of transcendent emotion, Remain asks us all: Can love set us free not only from our greatest sorrows, but even from the boundaries of life and death?
